"The Fundación Arquitectura y Sociedad is a non-profit, private cultural entity with a national and international reach. Based in Madrid and Pamplona, it was set up in 2008 with the aim of promoting architecture as a field inextricably bound to life in society at large. An annual activity of the organization is Campus Ultzama, held in the Navarrese municipality of Ultzama.

SchoolDirectors: Carlos Pereda, Ignacio Olite The Summer School consists of two Workshops to be held simultaneously, side by side, immediately after the Encounters. Students will work with three professors in developing a single project based on the program set. The idea is to give the students the opportunity to work in a set-up resembling that of a real-life practice tasked with a commission, under the supervision of the professors. Emphasis will be on “with,” rather than on “for,” simulating the intensity and efficiency of team work in an architectural office as well as the journey through the various phases of a project, from design to execution.

Maximum number of students per Workshop: 9 Total number of students: 18

Students: The workshop is thought out for students in their fifth year of their architecture degree program or in the process of completing their thesis projects, but also recent graduates (with less than two years of work experience). Theme: Humanize the City: The Elderly. Spaces for Living and Working.
